Things to Do
Welcome to the region of Gascony; known for its traditional slow way of French life, its markets and its famous duck and Foie Gras!
As well as exploring the traditional town of Auch there are plenty of activities in the French countryside nearby. We recommend exploring traditional French markets, small towns and cathedrals to start. Beyond that we have some recommendations below. Also check Auch tourism website here for local markets and attractions:
